Barrie Soloway, MD, FACS was featured in an article in the December 19, 2000 Woman's World Magazine entitled

"All new Breakthroughs For Better Vision"

This article outlined how the new LADARVision laser is more advanced than previously used technology.

 This first difference that the article reviewed between the LADARVision laser and the older lasers was due to the fact that the LADARVision laser has a thinner, more precise beam.  "Because LADARVision is so much thinner, it can treat a larger and more detailed area of the cornea, and create a smoother, more precise result," explained Dr. Soloway.

 This new laser also has a tracking mechanism that enables it to track the eye over 4,000 times a second. If a patient's eye moves during the procedure (which it always does) the laser will follow it and create the ablation in the center of the visual axis. Many of the side effects associated with LASIK are thought to be attributed to a decentralized ablation.  This laser may eliminate these types of problems.

 The final attribute of this laser discussed in the article was that it is advanced enough to be used for the forthcoming CustomCornea procedure.  This new surgery will take more detailed measurements of the cornea, lens, and retina, and 20/10 vision may be possible because of it.
